Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Dorlus had 3 solo tackles in 2026, finishing DL53. Production trend is soft: DL37 → DL53 over the last two seasons. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
